In Response To: Other: Spraydeck sizing (Ronnie)

: Is there an industry standard on spraydeck sizes? If so what are they? I
: built a Guillemot 17 and a Great Auk 17. I bought a spraydeck from
: Kayakstore.com and it is a little large on the Guillemot and too small for
: the Great Auk. On the next one I build I would like to get it just right.

I build most of my cockpits at or about 16-18" wide by 33" long which is the standard "Large" commercially available sprayskirt size.

Most of the commercial kayaks I've seen, seem to be going to the size as it is an easy and comfortable size to enter/exit.

As for the small - medium size cockpits I can't tell you those dimensions.

All the best,
Rob
